you're right in that it's a lesson many members of my family could take to heart, lol.

honestly, i have just recently tried the "words on the phone" thing, especially during weekends when Actual Husband is here -- I don't want to sit at my computer when it's our weekend time, but that doesn't mean I can't doodle in a few sentences on my mobile while we watch whatever show we're working through at that time. it seems silly for me to have waited so long but, well, i'm silly? my WIPs are in GDocs or Scrivener which makes mobile updating easy enough that it might help me out after all.
